Dusty's Poker Night Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 November 2026

Dusty's Poker Night is a Texas Hold'em game for friends in the same room, made by Greg Chelstowski (Dustcloud). This page explains what the game does with your information. The short version: nothing goes to us or to the internet. What you share goes only to the people at your table, on your own WiFi.

What we collect

Nothing. We do not collect, store on any server, share or sell any personal data. The game has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it has no servers of its own: it never sends anything to us or to anyone on the internet.

What goes to the other players

To play, the phones (and any tablet or computer used as the table) connect to each other directly over your local network (your WiFi or a phone's hotspot). They exchange only what the game needs:

• the name you type in, so others can see who's who;
• your picture, only if you choose to take one;
• the game itself: cards, bets and moves. Your own cards are only ever sent to your device until they are shown at the end of a hand.

This stays inside your local network. The device hosting the table keeps players' pictures only in memory while the game runs and forgets them when it ends. Other devices on the same network can see that a table is open (its name and how many players are at it) so they can join it.

What stays on your device

The game saves a few things locally, on your device only:

• your settings: name, look, card back, animations and sound;
• your picture, if you took one (you can remove it at any time from the picture screen);
• on the device that hosts a table, a short history of the hands played (cards, bets and winners), so a hand can be checked afterwards. It is never sent anywhere and older entries are deleted as it grows.

We never see any of this. Uninstalling the game deletes it.

Permissions

• Local network: to find tables and connect to the other players on your WiFi. On Android this appears as network, WiFi and internet access; the game uses it only for your local network.
• Camera (optional): only if you choose to take a picture of yourself for the table. Nothing is recorded or uploaded; only the one small picture you take is kept.

The game asks for no location, microphone, contacts or photo library access. Unity analytics and crash reporting are switched off.

No real money

The game is played with chips that have no value. There is no real-money gambling, no prizes, and chips cannot be bought, sold or cashed out.

Children

Because the game collects no personal data from anyone, it collects none from children either.

Changes

If this ever changes, for example if a future version adds online features, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date above will change.
